How to make a top bar beehive that will work with langstroth frames. Easy woodworking skills and free plans. You will need minimal skills to build this beehive but for tools I would recommend at least using a circular saw.
If langstroths are more of your desired hive style you can find my other videos here.

Hey everybody, here is a video explaining all the various features of the most recent version of my cathedral hives. The customer wanted to make the hive as natural as possible and requested various upgrades. Each upgrade is covered in the video but here is general list of the features: Adjustable Ventilation on top and bottom, screened bottom board with pull out, custom engravings, periscope entrance, mouse guard, bee highway, adjustable follow board, custom copper top/accents, in hive feeder with two 1/2 gallon jars, in hive feeder has sting free screen, double pane full length window, window cover with recessed plate for zero light penetration, optional entrance reducer (not shown), tung oil finish, finger groove handles, waxed frame, insulation layer, plus whatever else I forgot.
Thanks for watching, feel free to email me at beethechangefc@gmail.com if you would like to discuss buying a custom bee hive. You can also email me if you want help building your own.
Happy beekeeping!

I built this top bar bee hive modified so that the bars from the Langstroth hive will fit. My son, Josh, was a huge help on this project. Thank you so much for following along with me! Thanks for watching!

How in the heck do you harvest honey in a top bar bee hive? If you are new to having a top bar hive, or looking forward to your first top bar honey harvest, this video will show you how easy it is to get all of the delicious honey out of your hive and into your belly. Well, how to get it into a bucket anyways, pouring gallons of honey into your belly is probably not a good idea!
Our bees died off in a cold snap a little while ago, and while it is sad that we lost them, that means it is time to harvest all of that delicious honey they had stored up for the winter. As they died pretty early into winter, we wound out with ten bars of honey, which wound up being just about four gallons.
Watch the video to see just how easy it is to harvest honey out of your top bar bee hive!

I wanted to replace my existing Top Bar hive with a hive that supported the Langstroth frames. Here is the result. It has been a few months now and both the hives appear to be flourishing.
One thing that I do like about the hive, which is probably only suitable for warmer climates, is the fact that the air can flow between the roof and the body of the hive.

Prior to this video I split a very strong colony in half, taking the queen out and moving her and half the combs to a new hive. 9 days later in this video I create a nuc using several combs from the now queenless colony which has built several queen cells. I left the original colony with most of the queen cells and placed one cell in the split. This is the easiest way to create new colonies since you don't need to raise queens separately or buy queens.

The Bees have arrived and I could not be happier, here is a walk-through of pick-up and installation.

Today Mel and I go through the Top Bar Hive to look for the queen, remove brace/cross comb, check the health of the colony and create more space in the hive by adding empty top bars and hopefully prevent the colony from swarming.

We have received a lot of demand for the moulding tools (for making your own concrete beehives), and despite our best efforts to raise the capital needed to produce the first batch of mould sets, the process has been slow. The fastest and surest way we have to raise the money now is to take presale the moulds here on IndieGoGo. The moulds in question allow you to produce your own concrete beehives. Why would anyone want to use concrete beehives? Well aside from looking great, they come with some serious benefits!

This weekend, I've split the two hives into three by taking brood frames from older two hives and placing them into the empty hive. Unfortunately, I could not find neither queen so we took a change on that one.. My daughter recorded the video for me and added explanations. I will report on the progress in the new hive in the upcoming videos.

It's getting cold, I now need to ensure that my hives have enough food, are treated for varroa and that they are wrapped for winter. In this episode, I show you how I overwinter my honey bee hives

I was recently given a swarm caught in a bait hive filled with langstroth frames. I have an empty Kenyan Hive, but no simple way to move the bees directly from the frames to top bars. So I quickly built this hybrid Tanzanian TBH / long Lang to accommodate the frames. The plan is to let the bees migrate away from the frames to the top bars. I’m totally new to this so constructive feedback is welcome.

RADICAL NEW FOLDING BEEHIVES
FOLD-HIVES are part of an exciting innovative approach to beekeeping, an integrative new system based on a unique hive box shape universal for brood boxes and supers. Collectively these modular hive box "cells" fold together with other same shaped hive boxes to form a tightly closed hive to house one or more colony of honey bees. Each hive box cell has inner covers that help insulate and isolate the hive boxes from one another. Bee-ways and bee-channels allow easy egress between cells and to internal top hive feeders. Beekeepers have freedom to allow or block passages, allowing option to house more than one colony per hive.
The designs come from mountain farmer Doug Lambrecht who finally accepted that helping bees survive myriad challenges is his true ikigai. He decided to focus on improved hives and more profitable harvests. He brings tailor-made skill sets to the table, from marketing and finance to design and distribution. Doug’s bee vision is to increase incentives for beekeepers to maintain healthiest hives possible by providing sweeter profits in their pockets. His belief is that with suitable rewards for hard work and devotion, happier beeks will keep more bees.
Inspired by the Need for Healthier Beehives
LESS LIFTING, SMARTER FRAMES and EASIER HARVESTS - With central bee entrances, modular hive boxes that fold open for full hive access, integrated pest management tools and universally exchangeable comb frames, FOLD-HIVES offer healthier environments for bees while being kinder to beekeeper's backs. Having worked on this for four years, we’re ready!

The "Cathedral" hive is a development of the top bar hive, comprising a semi-hexagonal base with specially-made top bars, which complete the hexagonal cross-section.
Graham invited me to have a look at his hives, here in South Devon, so here's the video of my visit.

In this series of video I cover how to make a top bar swarm box from free pallet wood. The build is similar to a top bar bee hive but is set to a volume that will attract a swarm of bees while still being compatible with my top bar hives to make moving the bees from the top bar swarm box to the top bar hive easier.
This same methods can be used to make a top bar hive. The difference is that you will leave the pallet boards used on the side of the box as whole boards as they measure 3'8" and are the perfect size for a top bar hive.

How to install a package of bees into a cathedral hive.
In my case I have drawn out comb so I was able to push the metal hook of the queen cage into the comb to hold it in place. If you are installing a package into a new cathedral hive (no drawn comb) you will need to use that metal hook inbetween frames to hold it up. You could also attach it to string and tie the string to the top of a frame. There are many methods that work but with each method you will need to ensure the screen on the queen cage is accessible to the other bees.
Happy Beekeeping!

In this episode I show how to cut and assemble a 19 frame Layen's hive. In part 2 I put on the finishing touches and cut the entrance and vent holes. These plans were based on Dr. Leo's plans and scaled up to 19 frames using the information on his website.

On this video I am going way back into the early part of the year, May 26th to be exact, when I did a removal in Slidell, La. and on this removal you are going to be introduce to a new face to Team Abbee Honey, Bubba Smith. Bubba and I are in the same bee club, The River Region Bee Club in Covington, La. and he was very interested in tagging along on a few of my removal/relocation jobs so as to pick up a few more tricks of the trade. He had done a few removals on his own, and was wanting to learn more , so I gladly accepted his offer of helping out. This was the second removal/relocation Bubba and I worked together, but unfortunately, I never recorded the first one. However, because the first one we did together went so smooth, in and out in under 3 hours with bees and queen in tote, I had no doubts about future collaborations.
As you will see for yourself, the bees had decided to take up residence between the first and second story of the home. Steve, the homeowner, in desperation tried sealing the bees inside the house using spray foam insulation hoping to put to an end the bees. Well, less than 24 hours later, the bees were coming and going like nothing had happened. It was at that point I was contacted.
The bees were removed from the interior of the home by cutting the sub floor and exposing the hive. It was fairly new, maybe 2 months old judging on the newness of all of the comb, and the bees were healthy with lots of brood and honey stores in the comb. In the end, we did not capture the queen in a cage, but she was vacuumed and the bees and comb went home with Bubba. Presently, the bees are doing well in his bee yard, and he is looking forward to splitting them in the Spring.
As this video was shot in May, and we were still in swarm season, the trailer on this video shows 2 swarms coming into some traps I had set up behind the honey house, pretty exciting stuff. But just to let you know, the swarm nearest to the door stayed, and the one furthest from it left the following day. So, without further delay, get ready to meet Bubba, and experience yet another bee wrangling adventure. God's peace to all. Mr. Ed

In this video I show how I build the foundationless Layen's frame found on Dr. Leo's website with or without a jig.
